Why have they not made an EVA game akin to something like NieR?
>>746006957Because NGE is a tired soulless husk of a series and needs to be put down already.
>>746006957Eva is hard to adapt since it's about a very specific group of people, a specific organization, and a specific set of antagonists. Lord of the Rings actually has a similar problem. And likewise, both work better if you just remix the stories into something new where you remove the limitations on your setting. So High Fantasy is derived from Lord of the Rings, where wizards and magic are just god damn everywhere ratehr than things that are fading from the world.And Eva can inspire game settings, while removing the major limitation of it ultimately being about like 3 kids, and the bickering of two organizations, and two scheming parents. Almost nothing outside of these characters actually matters.
>>746007096isn't it getting a new show soon?
>>746007127ThisXenogears and DrakeNier are Eva-likes.
>>746006957Make something new and video-gamey but make it post Third Impact:Setting:>Eva and Angel tech is now widespread>world population is 100 million >most of the urban landscapes are abandoned >angel and eva tech is now more widespread>you play as a new Eva pilot who goes on missions against other eva pilots >Setting is more akin to Gundam or Armored core>Shinji and Asuka are retired Gameplay:>life simulation: relationships and your character's mood affects synch rate>synch rate dictates power and damage of your Eva's moves>0% or lower: Eva rejects you and you can't pilot>Over 100% and you risk losing your AT field >make connections with others >series of missions fighting synch-Angels and Eva units>smaller fodder enemies>large Eva units have cores that need to be stabbed >customize your Eva with weapons, gear, different battle tactics >focus on guns or focus on melee: your choice

Could a 7th stand user style eva game work?

Post third impact game where Asuka is training Shinji's son to be an Eva pilot.
The enemy is like what around 15-20 dudes total? including seele
>>746006957Because eva is a whore franchise
Because the themes of the original series dont work in video games.And even just making a VN fanservice porn game doesnt really work.
Ave an gelly on

>>746006957who is "they"?
>>746006957the entire appeal of EVA is 14 year old girls in skintight plug suitswhich sounds good on paper but they sit inside mechs where you can't see them
>Eva gameNah, an Ideon game would be great tho
>>746006957bro your new anime?
>>746006957I hope a western studio makes it so you finally shut up about NGE
I've been saying this for decades on this board: You can't "gamify" or systemize Evangelion.The retarded take would be,>Just fight the angels and fortify Tokyo-3 and-It doesn't work. Neon Genesis is about characters and cinematography where fights are literally 5 minutes long. How do you translate any of that into a game?

Drakengard is the EVA game

But let's try to make it anyway. Let's say xapa have a gun to our head and we have to make a 9.6/10 Eva video game on par with Persona 5 and Nier in public opinion.You need to conceptualise the core elements of what Eva is in terms of actionable verbs, because they're the easiest to translate to gameplay.>Interpersonal character conversation>Mecha/Angel combat>Tokyo-3The core theme of Eva is "Weight", both literal and metaphorical. Weight of one's actions, weight of combat as a deconstruction of mecha tropes, weight of dialogue as a deconstruction on otaku tropes.The issue here is that Shinji is running a linear story, and you're moving linearly with him across his mistakes and learnings. You have to gameify this aspect and loop the player continuously back on single events so they can themselves learn the character lessons, not showing a single correct outcome to advance to the next "episode", but rather having them come to terms with their choices during that episode and moving on.By this, combat then can't feel "game-y", it has to be quick, in the moment choices. There can be no Game Over states, if an Angel defeats you, the Eva goes out of commission and the city is left to rely on other pilots, straining relationships more or less.
>>746019381The game you're left with after all this is basically a cinematic game that has to prioritize player choice in a true sense, not an RPG sense.What you're left with is a series of choices the player isn't made aware of making by utilisation of silence.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq9WJM-LiWoThat sound design immediately puts you in the mind of Shinji by removing UI and map markers and leaves the player to their own mental devices.
>>746013000QTE of Shinji jerking off while Asuka is in a coma
>>746006957are you afraid of women incel, just approach them
>>746007519>life simulation: relationships and your character's mood affects synch rate>synch rate dictates power and damage of your Eva's moves>0% or lower: Eva rejects you and you can't pilot>Over 100% and you risk losing your AT field>make connections with others
>>746019381>>746019801I we elaborate further on this, what does combat look like?In order to showcase consequence rather than choice, controlling an Evangelion has to feel heavy, claustrophobic and the angels unfair.An angel can hit you unprompted, leaving the player to work through damages (imobilised arms, etc.) where enough damage eventually leads to literal desynchronisation with player input, mirroring the anime.Combat mechanically would at its core be fairly simple, and it would entirely rely on audio design again, but if you could break through prototyping how the player, narrative and combat could respond and revolve around a single angel attack going wrong, then you have one foundation of the game down.
>>746007519Too video gamey, doesn't work

>>746006957>wildy successful show>every single game is a pile of shitkind of a huge disaster
>>746007127>Lord of the Rings actually has a similar problem.But the LOTR games, where you play some random garystu, were pretty well-liked?Like >>746007519 said, you could easily make a NGE game, just with a different focus and maybe in an alternative timeline.
